Questions
- Why would the Lord call all Christian creeds an "abomination" (v. 19)?
- How should this understanding of Christian creeds influence our views of other churches and our interactions with other Christians?
- How do other churches have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof (v. 19)?
- In verse 19, does "professors" refer to those who professed the Christian faith of the time, or to the instructors at the Christian colleges and/or seminaries of the time?

Lexical notes
- Verse 19: Corrupt -- According to Webster's 1828 dictionary, the word "corrupt" referred primarily to something that was spoiled or tainted; less common meanings included being depraved, wicked, in error or not genuine. Since then, the word has more commonly come to refer to dishonesty as influenced by money or power, although today's meaning does not appear to have been the most common understanding of the word at the time this was written.
